​As a comparative political economy scholar, I use my knowledge of advanced statistical methodologies, seven languages and travel to over 35 countries to examine the economic outcomes of political institutions, state-market interactions, the political actors driving the process and the inequalities between the winners and losers of this process.I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies at the University of Rochester after completing my Ph.D. Georgetown University and I am working on a book manuscript dealing with the political determinants of switches between privatization and nationalization. My research bears directly on how we view the link between democracy and market capitalism, populism, rising illiberalism in recent political transitions and state capitalism.​My CV is available here: CV.
